A Chestnut Worth ReteIlinq.

In one Of our colleges a professor
who bad made himself friendly with
the students was walking out with an
intelligent scholar, when they saw an
old man hoeing in a corn field. He
was advancing with his work toward
the road, by the side of which lay his
shoes. As it was near sunset, the stu
dent proposed to play the old man a
joke. 81 will hide his shoes we will
conceal ourselves behind the bushes
and see what he will do. "
mo" said the professor, "it would
not be right You have money
enough, just put a dollar in the old
mans shoes, then we will hide behind
the bushes and see what he will do"
The student agreed to the propos-
al, and they concealed themselves ac-
csrdingly
When the laborer had finished his
row Of corn he came out of the field
to 90 home. He put on one shoe,
telt something hard, took it off, and
found the dollar He looked around
him, but saw no one, and looked up
gratefully toward heaven. He then
put on the other shoe and found an
other dollar, He looked at it, and
looked all around him, but saw no
one. He then knelt upon the ground
and returned thanks to God for the
blessings which had been conferred
upon him. The listeners learned from
the prayer that the old mans wife
and one Of his children were sick and
shat they were very poor; 80 that
the two dollars were great relief
sent to them from heaven.
There" said the professor, "how
much better this is than to have hid
lien the old mans shoes

Sioux Falls woman of another.
Eyes, they appear to be. They've
borrowed -four of me twice, tea once
and sugar three times. Then they
have got our coffee mill and our tub
and the Ratchet and two lengths OF
stove pipe and the baby carriage and
the woman empties all her slop over
the fence in our yard and / see her
coming across now to hang her
clothes on our line"
81 shouldn't think you would like
to have them borrow things so much
and quite so free"
"Oh, | don't worry much about it.
We've got their mop and about half
Of their dishes and their rolling pin
and washing machine, and the other
day | borrowed ten sticks of wood
from them and each afternoon our
hired girl put on better clothes than
the woman has to her back and walks
up and down the sidewalk and to-
night Pm going to put out poison for

q Ring on a swollen Finger.

"Will you please saw this ring off
my fnger?'
Ii was an old woman who made
this request Of Broadway jeweler,
and as the worker in gold and silver
took the wnnkled though fat and
.shapely hand IN his it trembled vio-
lently, and q tear dropped upon the
counter.
Excuse me- continued the old
lady, "but it is my wedding ring. ]
have never had it off since [ was
married-forty FIVE years ago l
have refrained from having it cut,
hoping that my finger might get
IT,. ne 1et..on could take it of
without breaking it,
''And what if | can remove it with,
out cutting?" inquired the jeweler.
"But can you 7" said she looking
up in half credu!ous way. IF you
can, do it by all means"
Then the jeweler took the swollen
finger and wound it round from the
top Gownwards in a length of fiat
rubber braid The elastic cord ex
erted its force upon the tissues Of
the finger gently and gradually un-
til the flesh seemed to be pushed
down almost to the bone. The old
womens hand was then held above
the head for brief interval. Then
the bandage was quickly uncorded
and rewound about the member.
This was repeated three times, final
~ it was found upon uncovering the
finger that it was small enough to
admit of the ring being removed
with ease.
II have never failed but once"
said the jeweler, sand / have remov.
ed many rings from fingers even
more swollen than yours. Do |
charge for it?n Oh, yes, | ask the
same amount that ! would get if the
ring were left to be mended after be-
Fng cut, One dollar. Thank you |"
and as he turned to bis bench and
the Old woman left the store be add
Ell But after all she might have
done the same thing herself. It's
not the work, however charge for;
it's the know how"

A Reward of Merit.

A Young commercial traveller was
riding on the cars in the vicinity of
Grand Rapids. There were few peo-
pie riding in the same coach with
him, but he noticed very old lady
who seemed to have passed the allot-
ed span OF life, and a younger wo-
man, tried and travel-stained, and ac-
companied by two peevish restless
little ones, who were never still for a
moment.
The old lady was unattended and
sat by herself, seeming oblivious OF
all her surroundings. The mother
with her children, occupied double
seats. She looked worn out from fa-
tigue The young man sat comfort
able in the rear of the coach and read
or amused himself with his thoughts.
But VIII en- an opportunity came for
him to be of service, he improved it
He closed the window for the old
lady, who feebly thanked him. He
gave the tiresome children some pic
ture cards to keep them out of mis-
chief He told them stories, and
gave them innumberable drinks of
water from the tank near by, while
their tired mother caught nap. He
divided an orange among them and
prepared another for the old lady,
who declared it cool and grateful.
Before they reached the station
where the young man was to leave
the train, and while he was getting
his satchel down, the old lady beck
| oned him to her.
"My son." she said, in quivering
| voice, l live at Grand Rapids per-
haps you have heard of me? | ana
the old lady who sent 800 pincushions
out to the soldiers home there. |
am SO years old and all do is to
| make pin-cushions and give them
away to deserving people. Young
man, have watched you, and here
is your pin-cushion."
1t was a homely little round OF
paste board, but that young man de-
clares he will never part with it as
| long as he lives.
